Hello all

I'm just in instead of htc wildfire with cyanogen. I bought mine verizon droid2 maybe week ago, seller answers few questions after I bought it, but I'm still stuck. Problem is i'm in middle of europe, without verizon network. As I know all payments was in time so there is no problem with unlocking, but representative still want my phone number and this is problem, how can I get this phone number, I can only get IMEI, but this is still not enought for theyr purpose. I also have some verison sim card, but number which I see is 6x0 and after this some different 4 numbers (example 000-000-1234) - I guess this is not real phone number.

The droid 2 global unlock solution for now

THE DROID 2 GLOBAL UNLOCK SOLUTION FOR NOW

This is what i am using on both of my D2G. they work fine 100% with no issues at all. I bought a universal turbo Sim from eBay. and here it is.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/270686865877?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

item number:270686865877

Sold by:electronic_sell

I also see they have 91 sold so far...

it worked perfect on both my blue and my white droid 2 global i bought from eBay this year 2011 and both had bad esn when i bought them. i bought codes from eBay and got 2 codes each time and they never worked so this is the only solution for now. thank you for reading.
[Droid 2 Global General] ankitmania:
turbo sim doesnt work for me. Poor call quality and call drop during MSC handover.

I pledge +$20
[Droid 2 Global General] ShadyGame:
i just bought this phone on ebay, i will try unlock it by code, if it doesnt work i will try universal turbo Sim

but still i put 20$ on that
[Droid 2 Global General] alfredojimenez:
I want buy the code for my D2G

---------- Post added at 11:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

Hi Cellzealot, I want buy the code, please my mail is jimenezaguila@gmaildotcom
[Droid 2 Global General] zukko:
i'm using turbo sim.

works fine. always shows small R (roaming) figure over the network band.

but no data connection. i choose option use data over roaming but nothing.

just WiFi connection.
[Droid 2 Global General] inquisitor:
Have you set a correct access point?
[Droid 2 Global General] freeallcell:
I have the codes to unlock D2G and manny others

To get the unlock code please email me with your information to_____________

We work fast and guaranty to work, very low price
[Droid 2 Global General] zukko:
yes i have done.

i even receive a warning message about sing data servise in roaming.

but no internet connection
[Droid 2 Global General] mohoho:
I would also pledge $20.

I now have D3 but it is a step back from D2G. I would like to go back to D2G if there is an unlock solution. I bought a few unlock codes from EBay and none of them work.

It seems that D2G is very dicey as far as unlock is concerned. My D3 was unlocked upon first try with a code from eBay.
[Droid 2 Global General] bobo122:
i see u r from the US , and ur service provider is verizon , then y don't u register it and get the unlock code from them , since its the only way to unlock it ?
[Droid 2 Global General] zukko:
i configured the apn correctly finally :)

now i have D2G GB with turbo sim and working data.
[Droid 2 Global General] stereoactivo:
Hi! I just bought a code from sim-unlock.net was really cheap (5 EUR) and fast (2 hour), recommended service
[Droid 2 Global General] alfredojimenez:
Are you sure? I have 3 D2G, am verizon customer, Im in colombia, I buy the codes from internet, from ebay, many time, I guet them from verizon, I call to motorola....nothing. The sames codes, not work. I will pay 90 dollars for these codes to the hackers here.
[Droid 2 Global General] montanezcl:
Tienes vaselina???????????
[Droid 2 Global General] luisfebar:
today i use, two different codes from two different sites, none works :confused:
[Droid 2 Global General] tonictonic:
I bought a D2G as a present for my mom last year since she travels abroad a lot and her phone was unlocked just fine. A few months later I bought one for myself as well but I never bothered to unlock till now since I don't travel as much as she does.

Long story short, my warranty just ended and my phone won't unlock even though it's a code straight from Verizon. Besides the turbosim (I would like to not go that route), what else can I do? From reading the posts here it seems like the paid unlock codes are just Verizon's own codes that people can't get directly from Verizon.

This really drives me nuts since I'm still under contract with no upgrade discount, a week left before I need to leave, and no way it seems to unlock my damn phone. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Did you try going to a VZW store and talking to them about it?
[Droid 2 Global General] NJspike:
Unlocked!

Guys I'm just reporting that I have unlocked (to work on Movistar Mexico UMTS 850) by code supplied by the guys of CellUnlocker, it took 7 days instead of the 1 to 3 days they told me.

The HSDPA service its a little buggy switching between 3G and H, sometimes it disconnect but at least the phone line its working.

I have bought the phone on eBay and it did have Verizon service (with SIM inside).

Just FYI. Thank you.
[Droid 2 Global General] inquisitor:
@NJSpike

The phone switching between 3G and H is absolutely normal since HSPA is only being activated if actually data is being transfered.

Regarding the unlock code, did you have difficulties with other unlock codes obtained earlier or was this your first attempt?
[Droid 2 Global General] NJspike:
It was the first attempt and they give me two codes, I did use the first
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Sounds weird. I'm pretty sure my D2G always stays on HSPA even when on WiFi, only dropping to 3G when there are coverage issues.
[Droid 2 Global General] NJspike:
@Gasai Yuno

Which rom and SBF are you using? Froyo ROMS feels more stable than the GB (607) ones. Maybe thats just me
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
This depends on how the operator has their network configured. With some operators here in Canada phone will always show H (Telus and Bell), with others it switches to H only when data is being transferred (Rogers/Fido).

This is normal behavior and affects all phones which are configured to distinguish between UMTS (3G) and HSPA (3.5G)
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
I've been using stock 4.5.606 since its leak, and then 4.5.607 and then 4.5.608 since their respective releases.

leobg is probably right, though, considering that you only really need HSPA for data and that UMTS itself includes data — so you aren't losing your GPRS session even if you lose HSPA.
[Droid 2 Global General] erfannf2:
I've bought 3 D2G with BAD ESN and purchased codes from unlock4moto, but one of them won't unlock with none of codes.

The thing I realized here is that BAD ESN phones won't unlock with the codes because codes which are being leaked from the carrier (I knew that unlock4moto acquires them from another supplier) have been changed. So, since LOCKING process is something happening in the radio chip, there is no way unless using a turbo sim. But is there any major issues with Turbo SIMs with 900/1800 GSM only networks with GPRS or EDGE?

I have an Idea:

Let's share our IMEIs and Unlock codes to make some investigation in the pattern and their relationship. Maybe we can find the pattern.
[Droid 2 Global General] erfannf2:
Hey guys I found this : SIM Unlock Galaxy S by an App!

Any ideas?

I try three diferents codes and also i try with a turbo sim, but none works :confused: any idea??? i will pay if any can help me..

Hi everyone i ought a Droid 2 for 100 usd. Locked of course...

I bought a cheap unlock code using my account and they returned me two codes that didn't work... (service name Motorola WordWideWeb)

Imei=<Dont share your IMEI number>

Code=80971130 77378922

Now I a using a different service on the same server that cost 16 usd and use a different database (service name Motorola Database 2) . The ETA is 3-5 working days... I will keep everyone posted about the result....
[Droid 2 Global General] erfannf2:
Sounds great. I'm waiting for the result. But I think somebody should find a Verizon Database for that. I've been told that Verizon change codes for BAD ESN phones OTA!!!!
[Droid 2 Global General] cliffdover:
Any success with Motorola Database 2? I found a website that said that the unlock of my IMEI is in the new database for sure. But i want to know if works for you that database...

Added:

Cellunlocker (where someone had success) service is 29.99 :O. I think should use new database: "Matching IMEI record found and ready for processing!"

Ebay and top-rated seller with "new" motorola database:

[Droid 2 Global General] haroldz123:
Unlocked d2g is less than 150usd
[Droid 2 Global General] projektorboy:
I had good luck when buying an unlock code from a user on eBay named "Unlock Fusion". My D2G with a questionable IMEI took the unlock code and then, with the hack, started happily accepting AT&T/Tmobile SIM cards.

They got the code to me in about 3 hours too. Not to shabby for $6
[Droid 2 Global General] hell.cu:
Just for everyone to know.. I still have a LOCKED device.. The codes in the DB#2 was the same and didnt work... So I still have this piece of **** in my hand...

Know i am trying to see if someone in US could help me out with this..

[Droid 2 Global General] hell.cu:

[Droid 2 Global General] hell.cu:
the same code was returned... that guy in ebay is a common and regular unlocker with access to NORMAL DB!!!

The code doesn't work!!! I feel frustrated!!!
[Droid 2 Global General] erfannf2:
As it have been told before, BAD ESN phones won't unlock with these codes. Verizon changes codes for this type of phones and we should use Turbo SIM!!!
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
This is clearly wrong.

Whether the phone is blacklisted by Verizon or not does not affect the SIM lock codes. Many “bad ESN”-tagged phones were successfully unlocked with codes purchased from online sellers.
[Droid 2 Global General] hell.cu:
@Gasi Yuno..

So, what is the reason why some of them can be unlocked and some of them can not!!!

BR
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Some of them had their codes altered, that's all. VZW cannot magically alter the unlock code on a phone that doesn't have internet access. Now, if you bought the D2G and instead of unlocking it first decided to set up WiFi, you obviously can get those codes changed accidentally if it's really done OTA.

I somehow doubt it, though, and I think the codes are just wrong. I.e. the phone had some other code flashed into it at the factory, not the one that is in the database.

There's no reliable way to confirm that VZW changes the codes OTA, is there?
[Droid 2 Global General] erfannf2:
A Motorola staff said that to me. And I think it is true. It relates to the state of the phone and the reason of BAD ESN. I think it might be changed when a phone is lost or stolen but would not change if it has unpaid bills. Only a guess.

Why not? There is no need to change the code inside the phone. It simply needs to change the code in VZW database WHEN IT MARKED AS BAD ESN. And when you purchase a unlock code, every body retrieves the changed code not actual one. Could it be like that????
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
The code sellers do not use VZW's actual database. They use leaked ones. That's #1.

#2, bad ESN means the ESN (MEID) which is the CDMA ID of the phone (like IMEI for GSM) is blacklisted in VZW's database and cannot be activated within their network.

Please do tell me how exactly can you change the code in a phone that is lying down in a box in, say, Poland with no WiFi set up and no CDMA networks around.
[Droid 2 Global General] hell.cu:
common unlockers only have access to Motorola DB.. they have no access to Verizon Database.. So.. Verizon change the codes!!!!!

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

i mean change the codes when the phone is given by Motorola. I actually doubt that the can change the codes OTA... It seems impossible!!!
[Droid 2 Global General] erfannf2:
I'm not insisting on that VZW changes codes in the phone. I said they might change codes in their DB. Consider this condition:

A phone is marked BAD ESN and not turned on on the network and somebody tries to UNLOCK it. And it will be successful. As I experienced with a BAD ESN one.

A phone is marked BAD ESN and accidentally turns on and tries to access VZW network (say on CDMA via USSD codes or WiFi) and a code is being sent to it to change UNLOCK CODE via a bootloader or ROM command. (There are many unlock methods for unlocking SAMSUNG devices via ROM). Furthermore, A Motorola staff told me VZW might change BAD ESN phones codes OTA! I experienced this condition too. And hope using Turbo SIM helps.

Yes. I've contacted 3 different code providers and they said that they are using Motorola DBs. Say Motorola DBs and VZW initial DBs.
[Droid 2 Global General] hell.cu:
I can tell you as a fact that some companies don't allow Motorola to give their code for a fee... For example YOU wont find any correct code for any MOTOROLA phone from At&T or T-Mobile in Motorola`s DB. I believe they have some kind of agreement.

I believe that some phones (the old ones) use the Normal Motorola codes, and some of them (like mine) have different codes...

Droid 2 unlock

Hi all,i have bought Droid 2 global from ebay. First of all i bought 2 unlock codes from ebay and none of them working,i enterted this codes more than 10 times and after that my phone says me "contact the operator". Now my sellers call to VZ and get the true unlock code,but when im taped it,droid says that this code is fake(unssecseful)! My phone now is hard locked or what? Can someone help me?
[Droid 2 Global General] Kioba:
portasb declare

+1

Verizon changes codes regardless the phone is BAD ESN or not.

I have talk to VzW and they gimme the same codes that unlockers on ebay.

The question is... is there any DB for those new codes? or VzW changes codes ramdom and those phone will never unlock?

---------- Post added at 03:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

When it says contact administrator, you just have to hard reset the phone or factory reset, that option you can find on Privacy. After that it try put the codes again.
[Droid 2 Global General] Rasmanov:
I tried to reset to factory settings. And entered the unlock code. It does not work.
[Droid 2 Global General] Kioba:
But you mean that the same codes you got before doesn't works?

Cause if you entered the first time and they don't work, now wont work neither.
[Droid 2 Global General] zukko:
hi everyone.

can someone call VZ for me ?

because i'm living abroad and cannot call VZ.

i have already tried codes from ebay and sim-unlock.com ...

but none of them worked for me.

waiting for your help.
[Droid 2 Global General] 1of16:
got the same problem....is that illegal to ask here or would someone call VZ for me too? :) I would buy you a box of beer ofc ;)
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
phone must be active on verizon, to get code, they check
[Droid 2 Global General] Kioba:
The problem is for someone calls, must register the phone in her/his account to get the code. Also I read in one post that Vz only permits to unlock one cell each 6 month.
[Droid 2 Global General] 1of16:
its _was_ active with verizon...and i do have an verizon sim card...but I wont work here in germany?!?
[Droid 2 Global General] Kioba:
But the costumer that calls to Vz, must registered in her account as if going to use it.
[Droid 2 Global General] dabigserver:
Damn it! it seems like there wont be a solution, this is so freaking frustrating, I already tried the 2 codes that the seller provides and none of them worked like other users experienced aswell...

This is so bad, i dont want to try cellunlocker because i have the feeling that it will be the same s**t, I have a droid 2 global that I could unlock but the very one that I have now wont unlock... I am outside US, I am in Central America, I want to sell it to somebody in the US so they can use it in Verizon

And I am about to buy the famous turbosim card, if it works, the 3g the calls the sms functions I will keep it... there is no other way :'( I saw that you were offering money to somebody who can unlock it, I put 30 dollars to the bet

hello guys

please someone can help me

i have a fhone droid 2 global A956

I live in argentina and i want unlock by codes imei

this urgent for me

please can help about the codes unlock
[Droid 2 Global General] erfannf2:
Try unlock4moto.com service. it's fast and very reliable unless your phone has a bad ESN! they are located in Europe so consider their timezone!
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Unlock codes have nothing to do with “bad ESN”.
[Droid 2 Global General] erfannf2:
I mean the reliability would be reduced if the phone is bad esn . I've unlocked bad esn phones but some of them failed to unlock!
[Droid 2 Global General] KT3D:
I don't know if i am repeating someone or not but, if you can somehow wipe off and/or change the IMEI number than you can unlock the phone.

the difficulty

- Its illegal.

- rare to find people who do it.

- tutorials are not available for new phones. and its really difficult.
[Droid 2 Global General] erfannf2:
Despite its illegality, how can change IMEI? Is it a hardware operation and needs special devices (like JTAG) or could be done via phone it self? I don't think it's illegal in the place I live!!! ;-)
[Droid 2 Global General] erfannf2:
I'm using a D2G with a i-smartsim turbo sim but I have a strange problem with it.

When I insert sim card with turbo sim it won't detect the network. But if I put the sim card in my UNLOCKED MILESTONE and after successful register on network, I pull the battery and then pull the sim and insert it into D2G then power it up will make it register on the network!!!! Anybody can help solve this problem?
[Droid 2 Global General] dabigserver:
There's no way to solve this, I am not sure but it seems this problem occurs due to the turbo sim firmware, I just bought and paid for an Universal No Cut Sim Card (black turbosim), anyway, It hasnt arrived yet, will be waiting for almost 3-4 weeks I guess, when i Get it, Ill tell you... lol long wait....
[Droid 2 Global General] erfannf2:
It took a long time for me too. 45 days. Let us know if your's is good or not. Which country would you use the turbo sim?
[Droid 2 Global General] dabigserver:
The *#**^& seller didnt have the turbosim in stock so I told him to refund the money, I Will buy another one again(of course with another seller).... Gosh!
[Droid 2 Global General] lodestar1:
Can someone who have unlocked a D2G with some kind of Turbosim , please tell us more and recommend from where he got it from (site ) , the exact model and year, etc. I've tried an unlocking code but it didn't work like many people here stated, so I wanna try the Turbosim. Really hope someone answers my question. Thanks
[Droid 2 Global General] Kioba:
Well I get a universal turbo SIM from china, bought at ebay, for now to send sms and make calls works nice. I haven't a data plan yet, so I dunno if it have a problem, but did test with a sim from a friend and the internet works smoothly.

The thing I have heard so far, is that depend your carrier and the turbo sim you are using. Most of people has recommended the turbo sim with 2011 fw. You can fin it easy on ebay. Look with this item number 270690911540
[Droid 2 Global General] dabigserver:
yeap thats the one I just bought yesterday! i hope i get it fast.... I am tired of having a stupid paperweight there....:mad:
[Droid 2 Global General] Kioba:
When you have used, please let us know your comments. That way we can determinate the best turbo sim out there for us those can't unlock with code.
[Droid 2 Global General] seijidinzuala:
just recieved my turbo sim and works great yayy
[Droid 2 Global General] Kioba:
Have you test with data? 3g or 2g?
[Droid 2 Global General] zukko:
not reccomended to use it for 3g or 2 g data.

your unlocksim will burn out after a week of use.
[Droid 2 Global General] Kioba:
I want to know if there are any turbo Sim out there that supports data. Because I read in another forum that they were using it.
[Droid 2 Global General] erfannf2:
which turbo sim do you use? mine is i-smartsim and have problems with the phone, specially causes restarts every one hour!

No Contract GSM

Hey Guys, i just bought a new Droid 2 global GSM by Verizone from ebay. Its a no contract phone. Its yet to Arrive. I have a few questions.

1. I am not sure what No Contract means, does it mean that i can put any SIM and it will work?

2. Since its a GSM and not a CDMA, it will have an IMEI so if i unlock it, i wont have any bad ESN problems?

3. I am new to all the Cellphone things. But shouldn't rooting or ROM flashing unlock the phone?

Please Advice.

Thank you for your help.
[Droid 2 Global General] Kioba:
Hi Nkanish

1. No contract means that you haven't to pay a monthly fee to VzW

2. It's GSM and it has a IMEI, which you could use to unlocked, but the codes are just 50% working, if your phone is one of those the code was changed, you are in the Turbo SIM list.

3. Flashing/Root the phone doesn't unlock.

rgrds,
[Droid 2 Global General] nkanish2002:
What do you mean by code change?

In your 2nd point you have talked about code change. How do I know if the code has changed? And is there a way to contact Verizone people using email and get the unlock code?
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
you will only know if code was changed if unlock does not work

you can only get codes from verizon if you are a customer in good standing and meet the requirements
[Droid 2 Global General] Kioba:
It's like shadow says, when you bought the code, if the neither of the two codes that the unlocker sent you works, then it was changed.

There's a theory that only the more recent devices sold by Vz has the code changed. Another thing is as per my experience, you only get from Vz the same codes you get from the unlocker.

I heard that sometimes Vz give a 3rd code, but look it wont work neither.

Hope you got luck with yours and it can be unlocked by code :)
[Droid 2 Global General] Kioba:
Someone in this post have used Turbo SIM with data, without burning it?
[Droid 2 Global General] nkanish2002:
Thanks again Kioba and Shadow.

One last question:

What are the chances that the code i get from Vz will actually unlock the phone considering they change the code(Is that even possible? If they can remotely change the codes, we can surely find a way to change the codes ourselfs for OUR mobiles...)?

And I hav read about TurboSim, And is there a vendor whose TurboSim works as good as the normal SIM?(i.e. without burning, rebooting the phone every now and then, etc, etc... I hav gone through the whole Forum!!!!) :)
[Droid 2 Global General] Kioba:
As per the many unlockers I've ask, the chance is 50%

Regarding the code changed, I doubt that code has been changed in device itself. What I think that Vz change those code in the database and everyone how get codes from them, even its own customer service, get it wrong (it's just my theory)
